WWAMKC FROM 03/2353 JUST IN. STORMS COMING UP OUT OF TENNESSEE INTO MY SOUTHWEST COUNTIES DO NOT APPEAR SEVERE FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER STORMS FIRING SOUTH OF BNA MAY BRING SVR TO SE KY LATER THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. TO OUR NORTHWEST...MOST STORMS CONTINUE TO TRAIN ALONG THE OHIO RIVER AND ARE NOT AFFECTING MY CWA.
